Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Monday declaring the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) a foreign terrorist organization. The move follows a similar declaration issued last month by Texas’s Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Like in Texas, the Florida executive order also designates the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization. Here’s Imran Ghani, director of CAIR’s Houston chapter.

Imran Ghani: “So, these two governors are fomenting anti-Muslim hate, bigotry, and these accusations are totally conspiracy-based and done to stoke fear of Muslims. … From a human perspective, it continues to make Muslims, who are part of the cultural fabric of American society — it others us. Muslims have been around for hundreds of years.”
